HAIR-DRIER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 649,608, dated May 15,1900. Application filed September 14,1899. Serial No. 730,512. (Nomodel.)

T a/L whom t mfr/y concern:

Be it known that I, ANNA M. KELLOGG, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in llair-Driers, of whichthe following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide means for holding in adistended position a ladys hair from the neck after Washing in such amanneras to protect the clothing from the dampness and cause it to dryquickly and thoroughly.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is aperspective view of myimproved hair-drier. Fig. 2 is an outstretched view.

The drier is of segmental form when outstretched and consists of theedge band l, having a cloth covering 2. The ends 3 are rounded. To theends are secured tapes 4, which are connected by a buckle 5. A crossbar6 connects the inner and outer edges of the band. The space between theinner and outer edges of the band is filled with netting 7, of anysuitable material. To the center of the outer edge of the band isflexibly connected a brace 8, its lower end provided with branches 9,and to the branches are connected tapes l0.

Fig. 1 of the drawings shows the application of my improved hair-drier.After a lady has washed her hair the band is passed under the hair atthe back of the neck and the ends brought toward each other at lthetemples and connected across the forehead by the tapes 1.1. and buckle5. The branches 9 of the brace 8 rest upon the back of the neck and thetapes 10 pass around the neck and are connected under the chin. Thisbrace-bar holds the rear portion of the band elevated, so that the hairwill be held free from the body and clothing.

The netting permits air to pass through the hair and quickly andthoroughly dries it.

I claim as my invention- A hair-drier composed of a flexible band insegmental form having its center filled with flexible open-work, tapesconnecting the band and adapted to be secured across the forehead, asupport for the rear portion of the band adapted to rest at the back ofthe neck and tapes connecting the lower end of the su pport and adaptedtopass around the neck.'
